I just discovered a few other versions of "Loves Me Like A Rock," beyond the Paul Simon one. It's amazing how different artists interpret the same song.
"Willin" has to be on the top ten list of most covered rock songs, right up there with "The Weight." Go to Youtube and type "Willin" into the search window.

Heck, I must have a half down versions just by Little Feat and Lowell George alone, from full electric band renditions to a juicy little fingerpicked guitar and mandolin duet between Paul Barrerre and Fred Tacket. I can play it with simple firt position chords, a fingerpicked version in Open G and a mixed with slide version.

I like the Seatrain version.
